I bought the bottle after trying my 499th, but, I didn\u2019t think it was \u201cspecial enough\u201d to be 500. It\u2019s another resurrected brand from Orca Beverages, of which there are several, and that\u2019s just a bit to plain a backstory for the storied 500th brew. I found this at the store formerly known as Blue Sun Soda, and I do like the motif of an old keg being called Old Keg. I mean, I throw pictures of old kegs all over this site of mine. But does it really have that, \u201cold keg\u201d flavor and profile?<\/p>\n<p>The Body sweet with rich honey and vanilla complimenting a nice rooty sassafras core. It is really delicious. The Bite is spicy and prickly with a smooth finish. The Head is medium tall and foamy that fizzes away faster than I prefer by coalescing into increasingly larger bubbles. That\u2019s rather unique. The Aftertaste is a delicious honey sassafras with hints of vanilla. <\/p>\n<p>This is my kind of root beer. Darker than classic, with honey showing through. I love it. Honestly, as far as quality of the root beer goes, this would have been a better 500th than what I had, and while it didn\u2019t have a backstory then, it\u2019s lack of backstory has become one of the better ones. Ah, the brew and review that could have been, but at least it won the Seal.
